Cs played a decent first half but their defense was a few steps slow. We saw Garza and Queta both play rather well. I like how versatile our bigs are. Each guy offers a different feel to the game. Garza has that bull in a China shop feel but can shoot from deep and get inside. He's also not afraid to mix it up on the glass or defensively. Queta is clearly a rebounding savant and loves blocking shots. His foot work and offensive skills have grown immensely. It's almost like he's dribbling a soccer ball with how he moves his feet.
Hugo continues to impress on both ends of the floor. Knowing that he's only 19 is absolutely unreal with how his game is. Derrick White struggled in that first have but he picked it up in the second half. Unfortunately for JB his 30 pieces in a row ends... Yet pretty impressive to think he tied Larry Joe Bird. Pritch had a decent game and has become more solid each and every night. Simons off the bench has proven to be a spark and weapon we really need.
Last night was a good win especially since the Jazz came into the Garden and beat us. The Jazz have been playing good basketball beating both the Spurs and Pistons. There are good teams in the NBA but no great ones and that's why we see some parity in who wins these games on a night to night basis. Cs still maintian their spot in the East with a few teams nipping at their heels. In this year's eastern conference there is no clear cut favorite and the Cs are right there in striking distance.
It's nuts that JB is getting no love from the All Star voters despite playing at an MVP level. As he said it's really a popularity contest. My guess is he would rather win championships then being a top vote getter. Celtic Pride!
